Food is a very general concept. Anything we call edible can be called food. There are many categories of food. When classifying, they can be divided into several categories based on their appearance or properties. Naturally, the classifications in the Trademark Classification Encyclopedia are also different. What categories do food trademarks involve?
Through the query in the Bajie Intellectual Property Trademark Encyclopedia, we know that the categories covered by food trademarks are Category 29: meat, fish, poultry and game; gravy; pickled, frozen, dried and cooked Fruits and vegetables; jellies, jams, preserves; eggs; milk and milk products; edible oils and greases.
Class 30: Coffee, tea, cocoa and coffee substitutes; rice; edible starches and sago; flour and cereal preparations; breads, pastries and sweets; iced products; sugar, honey, syrups; Fresh yeast, baking powder; salt; mustard; vinegar, sauce (condiments); spices; drinking ice.
Class 31: Cereals and agricultural, horticultural and forestry products not included in other categories; live animals; fresh fruits and vegetables; seeds; vegetation and flowers; animal feed; malt. We can see from the above classification that the coffee trademark belongs to Class 30.
Sometimes when a company is registering a trademark, it will encounter some reasons during the registration process and feel that it is not necessary to register a trademark, or it has taken too long, so it has chosen to transfer the trademark and has obtained a more suitable trademark. At this time, it is time to register There is no need to register a trademark, so can it be withdrawn? The answer is of course yes, but there are some conditions.
According to the provisions of the Trademark Law, you can apply for withdrawal as long as the trademark is published before the registration announcement is published. However, it should be noted that if the applicant withdraws the trademark review application, he may not file another review application for the same reason.
The way to withdraw a trademark application is to go to the lobby of the Trademark Office to handle it yourself, or you can entrust a professional agency to handle it. If you want to entrust a trademark agency, you should prepare the required materials, including the application for withdrawal of trademark registration, a copy of the subject qualification certification document (which requires the signature and seal of the applicant), a power of attorney, etc. If the trademark application document is in a foreign language, you must also Needs to be translated into Chinese.
However, there are some things that need to be clarified when withdrawing a trademark registration application. If the applicant proposes to withdraw a trademark registration application, there is no need to pay a fee, but the fees paid during the previous application will not be refunded. If the trademark applied for registration by the applicant has been successfully registered and a trademark registration announcement has been published, the applicant cannot withdraw the application for registration of the trademark.
If the applicant still feels that the registered trademark is of little use to the enterprise, he can go through the procedures for canceling the registered trademark. However, this approach does not pay off. After all, it costs money and time to obtain a trademark, and it also takes time and money to revoke it. All the previous efforts have become useless, so the trademark registrant really does not need the trademark and can handle the transfer. The value of the trademark can be effectively utilized.
Although it is uncommon for a trademark to be withdrawn during application, it still exists in this form. Sometimes the registration time and procedures are very cumbersome. In the process, companies can see what is suitable for them. If you buy a company's trademark and use it directly, you don't need a registered trademark.
